Bedfordshire champion onion seed is available from most seed houses.
This year I sowed bedfordshire champ as I had the seed between Christmas and New year, 6 or so seeds to a module, 20 modules to a tray. These were planted out in late march and left to get on with it. They push each other out as they grow and you get a good variety of sizes, some ideal for a cheese sandwich others cricket ball size. If you pull the odd big one whilst green the others soon fill the space left.
This year as well I sowed sturon sets in three and they did well giving slightly smaller individual onions but a bigger overall yield in the area. These also were planted in March. |
